I guess this could go in here because its "well being"... I think, move if necessary. For some reason it just occurred to me that I've never been bashed for my sexuality even though a LOT of people know about it. (damn word of mouth) So if anyone here wants to tell their story (if they've been bashed or a near miss) can have their say. Or maybe you've heard of one. I'll start with a person called David Graham, from Australia. He was in Big Brother. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,18973287-2902,00.html Its a good, but sad read.
Not me, but I almost bashed somebody (for throwing a stone on me and my lover), lol, the look on his face ! He was def not expecting a queer to bite back ! Esp with all his friends around him.
Thankfully I've not had any such experience... but I'm not likely "recognizable" as a gay man - especially to the idiots that would do such a thing.
